Built for MBA and business programmes.
Playbook is the gamification of business knowledge. Each concept from the course becomes a decision students make under pressure, with consequences they see straight away. Students stop memorising frameworks and start using them.
Covers the full MBA core: strategy, marketing, economics, accounting, finance, operations, people, leadership, ethics, global business and analytics.
BBA, BCom and business-management courses use the same games, with simpler weights and more guidance from the facilitator.
Corporate academies and short programmes run one game as a 50-minute workshop or the full library as a capstone week.
Fourteen cards. One for every core course.
Each game has its own world, its own colours and a real model underneath. Run it from the projector, read its guide first, or join as a player. Turn a card over for what students learn.
New: Playbook Labs.
Animated business and engineering labs that run in the browser. Students run a factory, a supply chain, a café or a company, or maintain an aircraft and its engines, and watch every decision play out on screen. Each lab has scored challenges and a logbook that exports for grading.
Open the lab 🚚Supply Chain LabTrucks, ships and planes carry stock from factory to stores on a 3D map. Play the beer game, tame the bullwhip effect, set safety stock and survive a port storm. Seven challenges for supply chain and logistics.
Open the lab ☕Café Business LabRun a street-corner café: customers walk in, queue and leave happy or annoyed. Set prices, staff the morning rush, cut waste and break even, with a live P&L. Seven challenges for entrepreneurship, economics and accounting.

Learn one game, run them all.
Every Playbook game follows the same session. Only the decisions and the model behind them change from course to course.
- Join
Students scan the QR on the projector, type a first name, then join a team or create their own. Each teammate gets a role. No app, no account.
- Predict and decide
Each round, teams forecast their own result, then make their call before the timer runs out.
- Reveal
The model scores every team. An event card shakes up the market before the next round.
- Debrief
Podium, awards and debrief questions, then a short written reflection. Export everything as a CSV.
Three ways to sit at the table
One decision per team. The Lead submits while the Analyst, Treasurer, Risk officer and Voice argue it out.
Every student runs their own company in the same market. Computer players fill empty seats.
Students decide on their own inside a team, and team scores are averaged: teamwork plus individual evidence.
Bring the whole deck to your campus.
InLabs Group licenses Playbook to universities, colleges and executive education teams, one course at a time or as the full library.
